Masks are back, indoors and out. Vaccinations are becoming required in a number of settings. The National Guard arrived at our local hospital this week. Local vets are weighing in about their time in Afghanistan as they see refugees clamor to get out. Anything else big happen this week? Some of those topics are covered inside the pages of this issue—alongside more local stories of art shows that are pressing on amid new guidelines, restaurants that are returning after a long hiatus and one about how local efforts are aiming to combat the effects of climate change in one local stream. Lots to read; lots to ponder in this weird, wild world we find ourselves in. Have a great week, Central Oregon!

OPINION

Housing, Hospitals and Health: It’s All Connected WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 26, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

As much as we all wanted 2021 to look better than 2020, the resurgence of COVID-19 and the Delta variant has hit Oregon once again. It has not required entire sectors of our economy to be shut down, but our local hospital now has National Guard soldiers doing the work that hospital staffers might otherwise do. How did we get here, and what is there to be done about it? That is, of course, the billion-dollar question. While it’s not exactly an answer, one thing is sure: Everything is connected, and this current situation is laying that fact bare. Some of the biggest topics of conversation in Central Oregon include population growth, housing, tourism… and now, COVID-19. The situation we find ourselves in currently shows how interconnected these things really are. Earlier this month, the U.S. Census Bureau released data that showed Deschutes County was the fastest-growing county in the state, adding 40,520 more people from 2010 to 2020—not shocking news to any local. But how that affects both our housing situation and the current situation at St. Charles Health System should concern all of us. Explosive growth means the systems we rely on to keep us safe are bound to be strained. St. Charles, the county’s largest employer, states it is having trouble filling open positions for jobs like nurses. According to St. Charles, prospective employees are scared away by the availability of housing in the area, and the current prices. As of July, Bend’s home value index was $114,408 more than the home value index in Portland, according to Zillow. In 2015, Bend’s home value index was $10,000 less than Portland’s. When prospective employees see figures like that, is it any wonder that they balk at taking a job here? Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters of Deschutes County conducted an affordable housing study from 2019 to 2021 that highlighted, among other details, how the advent of short-term rentals is further exacerbating our already strained housing supply. “There has been a loss over the past 10 years of approximately 1,000 residential units within the City of Bend, transforming

houses from residential use to tourist lodging, resulting in a loss of approximately 1 out of 35 to 40 residential housing units,” the study noted, and advocated for protecting the loss of existing housing supply through more regulation and enforcement. The study also advocated for discouraging the loss of affordable housing to real estate speculation and gentrification. While banning new short-term rentals or adding a tax on unoccupied homes could be drops in the proverbial bucket, when we have arrived at the place where our local health system is unable to adequately care for the people in the community due to the housing market, isn’t it time for us to employ every tool in the toolbox to correct the problem? According to an analysis from AirDNA, Bend had the fourth-highest number of Airbnb listings per capita in the nation in 2019—and this affects housing needs across the spectrum. As one member of the LWVDC told the Source, “The unfortunate irony is the City of Bend has allowed over a thousand homes to be converted to micro tourist hotels, and now is paying millions to convert a hotel into a homeless shelter.” Economists have been predicting this crisis in our housing market for years. It should come as no surprise that now, when we need health care workers the most, those predictions are coming to bear. Right now, city leaders in Bend are working through a set of new housing codes to put the city in line with the tenets of House Bill 2001, which prohibits single-family zoning in the state. Those code changes will touch on how many new short-term rentals can be added to new housing projects. At the current moment, it is time to take it to zero. Current iterations of the code allow one per multi-family housing unit. Code changes will help build more units in the area and banning new short-term rental permits will begin to open up the housing we already have. A housing crisis affects the entire community. It’s become clear that essential services are interconnected and without affordable housing we will not get the help we need when we need it most.

WHY DO TWO DESCHUTES COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE A MASK MANDATE?

Here's an email I sent to the Commissioners on 8/17/21: I want to acknowledge the County’s success in achieving a high vax rate compared to our neighboring counties in “greater Idaho.” However,

Opinions printed here do not constitute an editorial endorsement of said opinions. Letter of the week receives $5 to Palate! I’m disheartened by Commissioner Tony's stance against the mandate requiring masking in public and indoors. This isn't political; it's PUBLIC HEALTH! No one has the “freedom” to assist COVID in sickening it, killing members of our community! Have courage, follow the science and epidemiology and the Governor's orders! It's just like requiring seatbelts or motorcycle helmets. Finally, thank you, Phil Chang, for being the only commissioner who is reasonable and follows the science and truly caring for the community at large, rather than capitulating to the vocal minority of anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers. True leaders should clarify that ignoring public health measures is antisocial, selfish, and won't speed our recovery from this virus; in fact, it will (has already!) make it worse and guarantee a lousy 2022. Unfortunately, future election cycles may find you on the wrong side of issues like this. Thanks for considering my concerns. —Paul G. Claeyssens

DON’T BUG US, WE ARE WORSHIPPING During this ongoing epidemic the churches are performing somewhere between unevenly and quite badly. Some of the earliest and worst spreader events were at regular or annual-type meetings held almost to spite authorities. Then, when stricter policies were enacted, churches cried First Amendment foul and even sued to be relieved of the large gathering guidelines they were subject to. They wanted to be treated like the God-favorite citizens it has always been clear to them they are. This is a strange record for a western religious tradition linked heavily to high achievement in medicine, underscored by the personal public health leadership of figures like Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. Churches today refuse to let go of theology even for a minute in order to survey

what they might learn from history, law, health, science. In the very old days, before the teachings of the great prophets dried up like dew on a blade of grass, religion made an effort to encompass and explain everything: nature, nurture and nations. But gradually, as the world just got too complicated, the churches narrowed their purview down to a few things whose reality can be known (like love and kindness), and others whose reality is less obvious (like the efficacy of sacraments, the substance of miracles, and the society of the afterlife). How is it, then, that we will ever banish ignorance and violence, given that the state lacks ethics, and the church lacks science? —Kimball Shinkoskey

RE: UP IN FLAMES. FEATURE, 8/19

I worked as a nurse for over 35 years, Medical, ED and Cardiac Care. I have worked as staff for 30 of those years with a stint in management (emergency department). I can say that burnout has been in effect since hospital reimbursements fell off in the late 80s. Working 12s with no lunch, no break was the norm and we didn't have to do it in sticky, confining, hot PPE. Staffing inadequacies have been an ever present factor in healthcare. As an ED manager years ago we switched to 12 hour shifts because you needed fewer nurses! When you add the unbelievable amount of stress to managing a work environment under COVID, I can't even

imagine. Seriously, do we think these caregivers are replaceable robots? This crisis has revealed all the weaknesses in our system of healthcare. From staffing, to equity of care, to access for all citizenry, supply logistics, care delivery systems, the list goes on and on. All facilities are understaffed, professionals are leaving, people still working are left with such a desperate situation that I fear soon there will be hospitals and longterm facilities closing. This is not a good time for that. My heart and my gratitude to all who continue to show up. —Marilyn Hofman-Jones

Vaccines Required By Jack Harvel

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 26, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Oregon to require the vaccination of all healthcare and K-12 workers, as cases soar and positions go unfilled

A sign instructs visitors that masks and distancing are required at the Bend La Pine School’s District building.

regon Gov. Kate Brown announced this week that healthcare workers and K-12 school employees need to confirm they have been fully vaccinated by Oct.18 to continue working. Previously, healthcare workers could regularly test themselves if they didn’t want to get vaccinated. The announcement came as case numbers in Oregon are reaching record highs, trending upwards since mask and social distancing mandates were scrapped on July 1, when adult Oregonians surpassed a 70% vaccination benchmark. Oregon Health Authority data shows that 98.88% of the most recent cases are the more contagious Delta variant. “The Delta variant has put enormous pressure on our health systems, and health care workers are being stretched to their absolute limits providing life-saving treatment for the patients in their care," said Governor Brown. "I am devoting all available resources to help, and we must proactively implement solutions right now. We need every single frontline health care worker healthy and available to treat patients." Brown ordered members of the National Guard to offer support at Oregon hospitals this week, including Bend’s St. Charles Medical Center.

St. Charles Health System currently has about 76.5% of its caregivers fully vaccinated. St. Charles’ public information and government affairs officer Lisa Goodman told the Source that with the limited information about the vaccine mandate’s implementation, it’s difficult to know whether the health system can reach 100% vaccination among staff by the deadline, or if some healthcare workers will retire or leave their jobs if the vaccine is mandatory. “We can only speculate, but of course it’s possible some of our caregivers may choose to resign rather than get vaccinated. We’re preparing to share with our workforce more details about the mandate, as well the vaccine, which just today [Monday] received FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] approval (the Pfizer-BioNTech version). Our goal is to provide as much information as possible so that our caregivers can make an informed decision,” Goodman wrote in an email. The potential loss of staff poses a challenge for the healthcare system, already working through a staffing shortage that has factored into delays for patient care. “We have many job openings across the system—about 800—but where we feel this shortage most acutely right

now is at the bedside, where we need more than 200 nurses and certified nursing assistants,” Goodman stated. School worker mandates Brown’s mandate for workers at K-12 schools was implemented in an effort to keep schools in session year-round, and because the Delta variant has been hitting kids harder than in the past. Educational nonprofit Northwest Evaluation Association estimates that the distance learning implemented in the spring reduced retention of math by 50% and reading by 30% in third to eighth grade students. “Our kids need to be in the classroom full-time, five days a week, and we have to do everything we can to make that happen," Brown said. "While we are still learning about the Delta variant, we know from previous experience that when schools open with safety measures in place, the risk of transmission is low. That’s why I’ve directed the Oregon Health Authority to issue a rule requiring all teachers, educators, support staff, and volunteers in K-12 schools to be fully vaccinated." Redmond School District officials say they’re waiting to see the Oregon Health Authority rules before commenting, but the Redmond School Board will

consider implementing a mask mandate during its regular meeting Aug. 25. District Superintendent Charan Cline has stated the district will follow required mandates, though many school board members oppose mandatory masking of students. Bend-La Pine Schools did not respond to a request for comment about its masking or vaccination plans by the time this story went to print. Venues require vaccines or tests Brown announced outdoor mask mandates are returning on Friday, Aug. 27, for most public outdoor settings where social distancing isn’t possible. “Masks have proven to be effective at bringing case counts down, and are a necessary measure right now, even in some outdoor settings, to help fight COVID and protect one another,” Brown said in a press release. Previously some hospitality companies are enforcing vaccine requirements of their own volition. Bend’s Les Schwab Ampitheater announced it will require a negative COVID test or proof of vaccination to attend concerts starting with its Modest Mouse show Aug.29, and the Sisters Folk Festival, scheduled for October, will require proof of vaccination and will enforce mask mandates.

Vacunas Requeridas

Oregon requerirá la vacunación de todo el personal de atención médica y de los empleados de las escuelas de Kinder al 12o año a medida que los casos aumentan y los puestos no se cubren Por Jack Harvel / Traducido by Jéssica Sánchez-Millar

El anuncio surgió cuando el número de casos en Oregon están alcanzado niveles récord, con una tendencia a la alza desde que los mandatos del uso del cubrebocas y el distanciamiento social fueron descartados el 1o de julio, cuando las personas adultas de Oregon rebasaron el parámetro de vacunación de un 70%. La base de datos de la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon (OHA por sus siglas en inglés) muestra que el 98.88% de los casos recientes son la variante Delta, considerada más contagiosa. “La variante Delta ha puesto una enorme presión en nuestros sistemas de salud y los trabajadores que brindan servicios médicos están llegando al límite, al brindar tratamiento para salvar las vidas de los pacientes que están bajo sus cuidados,” dijo la gobernadora

Brown. “Estoy dedicando todos los recursos disponibles para ayudar y debemos implementar soluciones preventivas en este momento” Necesitamos de todo trabajador que brinda servicios médicos de primera línea, los necesitamos con salud y disponibles para atender a los pacientes.” Actualmente, St. Charles Health System, tiene cerca del 76.5% de sus proveedores de cuidado médico completamente vacunados. Lisa Goodman, directiva de asuntos gubernamentales e información pública de St. Charles, le dijo a the Source que con la información limitada sobre la implementación del mandato, es difícil saber si el sistema de salud puede alcanzar el 100% de la vacunación entre el personal para la fecha límite o si algunos trabajadores de atención médica se jubilarán o abandonarán sus trabajos si la vacuna es obligatoria. “Solo podemos especular, pero por supuesto, es posible que algunos proveedores de cuidado médico elijan renunciar en vez de vacunarse. Estamos preparándonos para compartir más detalles sobre el mandato con nuestra fuerza laboral, así como compartir lo de la vacuna, la cual hoy [lunes] recibió la aprobación de la Administración de Alimentos y Fármacos de los

Estados Unidos (FDA por sus siglas en inglés) – (la versión de Pfizer-BioNTech). Nuestra meta es brindar toda la información posible para que nuestros proveedores de atención médica puedan tomar una decisión informada,” escribió Goodman en un correo electrónico. La posibilidad de perder personal, plantea un desafío para el sistema de salud, el cual ya está trabajando con la falta de personal que ha resultado en atrasos en la atención del paciente. “Tenemos muchos puestos disponibles en todo el sistema laboral, cerca de 800 puestos, pero en donde se siente más fuerte la falta de empleados en este momento, es a la cabecera del paciente, en donde necesitamos más de 200 enfermeras(os) y auxiliares de enfermera(o) tituladas/acreditadas,” indicó Goodman. Mandato para trabajadores de la escuela El mandato para los trabajadores en las escuelas de Kinder al 12o año se implementó con el esfuerzo de mantener las escuelas abiertas durante todo el año y porque la variante Delta ha afectado más fuerte que antes a los niños. “"Nuestros niños necesitan estar en el aula tiempo completo, cinco días a la semana, y tenemos que hacer todo lo posible para que eso

suceda,” dijo Brown, “Mientras que seguimos aprendiendo de la variante Delta, sabemos por experiencias previas que cuando las escuelas abren sus puertas con medidas de seguridad establecidas, el riesgo de transmisión es bajo. Es por eso que le indique a la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon que emita una regla que exija que todos los profesores, educadores, personal de apoyo y voluntarios en las escuelas de Kinder al 12o año estén completamente vacunados.” Los representantes del Distrito Escolar de Redmond dicen que están esperando ver las reglas por parte de la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon antes de hacer comentario alguno, pero la mesa directiva de las escuelas de Redmond, considerará implementar un mandato del uso del cubrebocas durante su junta del miércoles. El Superintendente del distrito escolar, Charan Cline, ha declarado que el distrito seguirá los mandatos requeridos, aunque muchos miembros de la mesa directiva se oponen al uso obligatorio del cubrebocas para los estudiantes. Al momento que se imprimió este artículo, las escuelas de Bend-La Pine no respondieron a la petición para compartir sus comentarios en relación al plan sobre el uso del cubrebocas o la vacunación.

AIDing or Abetting?

A proposal to pipe over 13 miles of Arnold Irrigation District worries many of its patrons By Jack Harvel

Jack Harvel

Arnold Irrigation District’s flume branches off the Deschutes and provides AID with all their irrigation water.

soil can lose up to 50% according to the Deschutes River Conservancy. The draft EA says lining was considered, along with both piping and leaving the canal as is, and found piping was the cheapest option in the long term. “Canal lining was eliminated, and it was one of the terms but it was eliminated from further study,” said Brett Golden, director of modernization at Farmers Conservation Alliance, the agency that prepared the study. “It’s the capital costs, the replacement cost and the maintenance costs.” The EA estimates the 100-year cost of lining would be $80,864,000, compared to the $42,759,000 price tag for piping which Courtesy Arnold Irrigation

n April of 2019 patrons of Arnold Irrigation District received a postcard in the mail informing them of a plan to pipe the district’s 13.2-mile canal and inviting them to comment on the project. The meeting passed with little buzz, and AID patron Mark Elling said that was the last patrons heard about it until June 8 when the district released a draft environmental assessment—essentially a roadmap for the project. Many AID patrons organized and attempted to steer the project in a different direction after seeing that the draft EA didn’t factor in property damage or loss of property value in piping costs, the loss of a water source for wild animals and trees and, perhaps most broadly, the loss of the flume, an over 80-year-old open half pipe that diverts AID’s irrigation water from the Deschutes. “They said that they received over 400 separate public comments about the issue, which is very high compared to what other irrigation districts have received in my understanding,” Elling, a member of the patron group opposed to piping, said. “They did not specify which issues were driving that amount of opposition, but I would imagine the flume is a big part of it.” The comments are not available to the public and the Source wasn’t able to verify the number of comments in favor or opposition to the project, as AID didn’t respond to a request for comment. The preferred solution among the patron group is canal lining, in which geotextile liner and shotcrete are poured over earthen canals. Lined canals lose about 10% of water to seepage, whereas unlined canals in Central Oregon

Golden says requires little to no maintenance. AID’s patrons who oppose the plan dispute this assessment. Elling compiled material and installation estimates and predicts a cost of $28.6 million to line the entire canal without safety ladders and fencing along the canals—costs FCA factored into its estimates. “I spent a couple of weeks just doing research with different contractors that either sell the material or install the material and putting together all the quotes,” Elling said. “Basically, they in their documents, blew up the costs 200% to 800%, higher than market to make that look not feasible. So, I think that the other methods that are out there are less expensive than a pipe.” Patrons also worry about the impact to the ecosystem, arguing that the canal supports wildlife. Over the past 100 years animals relied on the canal for water, and the seepage from the canals supports trees in the area and filled wells. Though lining would also decrease seepage, nearby trees still benefit from the water. “When you have a ditch that these trees and the wildlife have depended on for 110 years, it is part of the ecosystem,” said Chuck Fisher, an AID patron. “All these trees will die, all of the deer, all of the elk, all of the everything that needs water will inevitably have to go to the river.” The draft EA claims 70-80% of trees survive piping in similar projects if actively irrigated by the landowner, and that piping is only one factor in losing groundwater. “The studies that do exist show that canal piping contribute[s] a relatively small amount to water level declines as compared to withdrawals or climate, the climate being the biggest influence,” Golden said. Where seepage isn’t an issue is at the flume, which stretches a mile off the Deschutes just before Lava Island Falls. Visible from the Deschutes River

Trail and winding through backyards in Deschutes River Woods, the draft EA proposes the flume be replaced with a pipe. The proposed pipe would be buried, but the height would remain about the same as the flume and a service road would be placed on top. “You can fix the flume without doing this massive pipe covered in dirt,” Fisher said. “You could literally take and put half pipes in there. If you want to leave it open and put it on the same thing that's through there.” Golden said FCA will respond to comments about the flume after further research. “We’re still looking back to make sure that we have that answer correct,” he said. The EA says the proposal will modernize 149 of the district’s 646 patrons’ lines, saving an estimated 32.5 cubic square feet per second of water from seepage loss during the irrigation season. The excess water will be given to North Unit Irrigation District, which holds the most junior water rights in the Deschutes Basin and has more commercial agricultural production than other Central Oregon districts. “That water will be passed to North Unit Irrigation District—in exchange they will release water in the upper Deschutes in the winter to support habitat conditions in the upper Deschutes for the first eight years or so of the Habitat Conservation Plan,” Golden of FCA said. AID patrons opposed to the project can get behind its goal of supporting NUID, but disagree with the means to achieve them. “That's where the real farmers are at and they're getting screwed,” Fisher, the AID patron, said. “But why don't we solve those problems, shotcrete, put the coffer dams in and you've already saved enough water that we're getting through this without putting a $40 million boondoggle through everybody's property.”

By Brian Oaste

Still considered clean energy by most of the world, the water behind Iron Gate Dam is rich with toxic algae, a strong producer of methane emissions. Without measure of methane in our greenhouse gas(GHG) emission reports, the United States has used hydroelectricity as a false climate solution, ignoring the atmosphere warming effects that these reservoirs have.

reen algae blobs choke handmade gill nets that should be filled with salmon. The Klamath River is warming, heated by drought and dams, and that allows the algae to thrive, making it harder and harder to catch fish. Some days, Yurok tribal members capture nothing but green goop. And some algae is toxic; one microscopic blue-green variety has made the water hazardous to the public. Warming conditions have also encouraged the spread of Ceratonova shasta, which infected 97% of juvenile salmon in the Klamath last spring, killing 70%. The crisis extends to the communities that depend on the fish for sustenance. “We’re not able to catch enough fish to feed our people anymore,” said Barry McCovey, Yurok tribal citizen and director of the Yurok Fisheries Department. Finally, after two decades of paperwork, the dams are scheduled for demolition in 2023. Now it’s a race between the opaque machinations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, in

the East, and C. shasta on the West Coast. Before the California Oregon Power Company Dam split the Klamath Basin in 1918, anadromous chinook and coho salmon and species like Pacific lamprey could reach the upper tributaries to spawn and die, enriching the ecosystem with omega fatty acids and other marine-derived nutrients. The nutrient-rich sediments ultimately returned to the ocean. Later, COPCO built a companion dam, COPCO 2, and then the John C. Boyle Dam and the Iron Gate Dam, the lowest on the Klamath River. COPCO evolved into PacifiCorp, and both PacifiCorp and the dams are now owned by Warren Buffet’s company, Berkshire Hathaway. Two other dams on the upper Klamath, the Keno and the Link River, are not slated for removal, in part because they have fish ladders and provide irrigation for farms. The four lower dams confine the salmon to the basin’s lower half and keep sediment in the upper half. “If you

look at the river below Iron Gate Dam, it is sediment-starved,” said Mike Belchik, the Yurok Tribe’s senior water policy analyst. The result is an “armored bed condition,” perfect for annelid worm colonies. “It turns out that these worms are secondary hosts for this fish disease.” The four dams provide no irrigation and are unconnected to the upper Klamath’s irrigation crisis. They only produce hydroelectric power. But new wind farms more than offset the amount of

"In 2023, the Klamath will be free. But we’ll see.” —JASON JACKSON power the dams currently generate, enough to power 70,000 homes, so their removal will not affect the grid. “They’re not particularly good at making electricity,” said Craig Tucker, the Karuk Tribe’s natural resources policy consultant.

There’s no economic reason to keep the dams, he said: “There’s no argument that really holds water. No pun intended.” The push for removal began in 2001, when the George W. Bush administration diverted so much water for irrigation that it sparked the largest fish kill in Northwest history. PacifiCorp’s dam licenses were up for renewal, and Tucker saw it as the perfect time to reassess whether the dams were serving the public interest. At first, Belchik said, their suggestions for removal weren’t taken seriously. But the Yurok and Karuk persisted, along with partners and allies, hoping for a 2010 removal date. When PacifiCorp realized updating the dams for environmental compliance would be more expensive than removing them, the company agreed to talk. The first agreement set a target removal date of 2015. That date slipped to 2020. Bureaucratic delays pushed it to 2021, then 2022, and now to 2023. If it slips again, it could be too late. The dams’ titles first need to be transferred to new owners and then

FEATURE Jason Jackson, the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s administrative assistant to the chairman, is hopeful, but skeptical about the timeline. “In 2023, the Klamath will be free,” he said, adding, “but we’ll see.” But this story is not just about the fish. Restoring salmon, Jackson explained, is a way of caring for elders and youth. “It reduces the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure. It’s brain development food for our youth.” “We don’t manage for just the next generation, but the next seven generations,” Jackson added. Yurok tribal member Tenayah Norris, who is raising two babies in a small community about 60 miles inland, said she relies on the relationship with the river: “We share emotions.” The Yurok officially recognized the personhood of the Klamath in 2019. Norris said it’s hard seeing the current conditions. “We still check it out, say hi,” she said. “We’re helping these places when we go there and show it love and clean it up.” The Yurok Reservation is a food desert, without any kind of supermarket, McCovey said, so “to be able to go into your backyard and catch one of the finest protein sources that exists in the world is pretty special.” The tribe needs 11,000 fish, minimum, to feed its people. This year, they’ll get only about 6,500. “We’re keeping the fish on life support,” said McCovey. “One of the main things we can do is get those dams out and open up 400 more miles of spawning habitat.” McCovey believes there will still be fish in 2023. “Salmon are extremely resilient. They’ve been through a lot, and they’re a lot stronger than we think.” The current juvenile run is over, but with temperatures rising and the dams still in place, the salmon remain under threat. Belchik agreed that they won’t disappear overnight. “If you start getting below too low a number of returning fish, individual tributaries will start winking out. It’s not that we’ll lose every salmon

surrendered before removal can begin, and both processes require FERC’s approval. In June, FERC approved title transfer from PacifiCorp to the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, a nonprofit specifically created for removing the dams. It’s a big step forward, but not home plate. “We have turned all of our attention now to the surrender proceeding,” said Mark Bransom, CEO of KRRC. But the surrender application must be approved before removal can begin, and FERC has no guaranteed timeline. FERC has scheduled the completion of its environmental impact statement for September 2022. That’s not soon enough for the 2023 timeline, Bransom said; it would delay removal for another year. Still, Bransom remains hopeful that FERC will be on an expedited schedule. FERC did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Dismantling will happen in stages. First, the reservoirs will be drained down to existing riverbeds, discharging the 5 million to 20 million cubic yards of sediment that has been trapped behind the dams for 100 years. Because sediment can smother salmon eggs and even suffocate juveniles, removal has to be done in the winter, after the fall runs and before the spring out-migration of fry. In May or June, once the risk of significant flooding has passed, the concrete dams—COPCO 1 and 2, and part of J.C. Boyle—will be drilled and packed with controlled explosives to break them into removable chunks. Iron Gate is a claycore earthen dam, so its material will be returned to the nearby “borrow site” to fill the crater from which it came. The newly exposed reservoir beds will then be stabilized with native trees, shrubs and grasses; a Yurok seed collection crew has been gathering and germinating seeds for two years in preparation. By the end of December, in whatever year this finally ends up happening, the salmon should be returning.

Communities along the Klamath River receive annual notices to stay out of the river during summer months because of the public health hazards the bright green water poses for people and animals alike.

in the entire basin all at once.” But the situation is dire. “If we have one more event, then we’re really screwed here.” “If we keep putting in this effort,” said McCovey, “the fish will see all we’re putting into it, and they’ll see the love that we have.” Salmon get attention because they’re iconic. “If we say we’re fixing this river for lamprey, no one’s going to listen,” McCovey laughed. “It’s just another way Paul Wilson

that the salmon are helping us. They’ve kept us alive since the beginning of time, and now here they are helping us again, restoring an entire ecosystem because we’re using their good name to get our message out there.” He said the fish won’t remember the upper tributaries, but they’re evolutionarily programmed to find their way up them anyhow. Salmon usually spawn where they were born, but about 5% wander into nearby waterways instead. It’s how they repopulate rivers after other disasters, like volcano eruptions. McCovey has faith in that 5% to come through and restore the salmon population. “They never fail us,” he said. “Everything is interconnected,” McCovey added. “We know this. And when you put a dam in a river, you block that connection.” The dam's less-studied impacts ripple out at least as far as the orca, who also depend on salmon. Before European contact, McCovey said, the tribal people of the basin worked to maintain balance. “And now we’re working on restoring balance.” Someday, he hopes, they’ll get back to maintaining balance again. “We’re always going to be working towards that.” —Brian Oaster (they/them)

Leadbetter Band Announces new SOUND Album, ‘Howl’ S

By Isaac Biehl Braden Mears

his year’s Britt Music & Arts Festival concert season in Jacksonville, Oregon, was a memorable one for a certain Central Oregon band. The Leadbetter Band (Eric Leadbetter, Patrick Pearsall, Dylan Bernal) was originally set to perform earlier in the day on Aug. 17 as an opener on the side stage, but the opening act on the main stage had to pull out a couple weeks before the show. This left the door open for the band to grab that spot. And they weren’t just opening for anybody— they would be setting the stage for none other than rock and roll legends ZZ Top. “It was so cool. They ran a real tight ship, ya know? They’ve been doing it for 62 years,” says Eric Leadbetter. “The crew for the Britt was awesome and the crowd was huge. It was exciting to walk around the stage and see all the people. The band played really well.” Growing up, ZZ Top was a band found in Leadbetter’s earliest CD collection, right there with The Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd and all of the “other classics.” So this was a moment he and the band were able to soak in and really appreciate. “It was the biggest show I’ve done for sure. Playing out of that sound system was amazing. It was a difference between like a couple hundred people and a couple thousand.” Now coming off one high, the trio is stepping right into another with the release of its second album, “Howl,” which follows the band’s self-titled debut released in 2019. The album will be out Oct. 1 with a release party at the Volcanic Theatre Pub. “We’re getting super pumped. In March we recorded the drums, bass and guitar in Tumalo Studios. Then we kind of had to put it on the shelf cause my wife and I ended up moving. Then the overdub tracking took time and there’s quite a few guests on there, too,” Leadbetter tells the Source. “It was fun putting together the guest vocals so that took longer than expected, but we’re really happy with how it sounded. It’s a whole different style. After a couple years of being in a band together your music evolves and takes shape.”

The Leadbetter Band getting down and setting the stage for ZZ Top.

“Howl” is 11 tracks long and features brand-new material along with a few older songs Leadbetter has written and played live throughout the years but never recorded. So far the band has shared two live versions of songs off the record—the absolute shredder “Middle Man” and the more bluesy, soft-rock crooner, “Habits.” Both were filmed and recorded live by Pete Kartsounes at Worthy Brewing. The fun doesn’t stop there, either. This Friday, Aug. 27, the Leadbetter Band will release another live recording of “Water Dogs” that Kartsounes shot during a studio session. The band will celebrate this single and video release with a show at Silver Moon Brewing. It’s clear that this has been a summer to remember for the Leadbetter Band, and they definitely have the right kind of hype building for the release of “Howl.” When asked about the title of the record, Leadbetter shares that while it’s short and to the point, it also serves as a fun memory of his late dog. And he also points out that it hits on the group’s style of music. “I mean, you’ve heard me sing… Sometimes I kind of howl,” laughs Leadbetter. Pre-orders are now available for “Howl. A CD is $15 plus shipping or grab it on vinyl for $30 plus shipping. Leadbetter Band also has a few new pieces of merch out to go with the album release.

Metal Artists Come to Shine

COMAG’s annual show returns to the Oxford Hotel By Nicole Vulcan

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / AUGUST 26, 2021 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

24 Courtesty COMAG

ver 20 years ago, a handful of local metal artists formed a guild in order to give themselves a formal way to meet and swap information. “The group began as a handful of jewelers who found they spent a fair amount of time sharing a beer, trading vendor, tools and technique information. In 1999 this led to forming a guild; COMAG,” states a press release from the group. After starting with just a pair of artists, the Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild, as the group is formally called, Courtesty COMAG

now includes over 70 artists who work as jewelers, sculptors, blacksmiths, forged steel artists, metal fabricators and welders. People working in associated fields such as gem cutting and glass are also included. People can see those members’ work on display this weekend, when COMAG hosts its 20th annual show at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend. Artists will bring their works and will be on hand to sell and talk about how they created it. After not having a show in 2020 due to COVID-19 shutdowns, organizers are excited for 2021’s version. “Due to the restrictive climate, we are one of the only art shows remaining for the year,” said this year’s show organizer Goph Albitz. “We’re local, which is one of the reasons we can do this—people don’t have to travel to get here.” For Albitz, metal arts pieces don’t lend themselves well to virtual shows, at least in part due to the fact that metal artworks are three-dimensional.

“I like to talk to people. I like to see them, not Zoom them,” Albitz told the Source. “I think it [virtual shows] could work for things that you don’t really need to see the quality of the work, or touch it, or in the case of jewelry, put it on—but virtual for our kind of show doesn’t work at all.” He also sees Gov. Kate Brown’s recent reinstatement of mask mandates in public indoor settings as a positive factor for the show. “The mask mandate is a good thing, because if they know people will be masked, people will feel comfortable going.” While the show is focused primarily on local artists, COMAG’s show will also feature the work of a Russian artist, Anton Yakusheva, who previously collaborated with the guild on works for past shows.

He’s been unable to enter the country due to COVID restrictions, but his work will also be on display at the show. Given that COMAG’s mission statement is to be “Dedicated to the promotion of education, information and collaboration in the metal arts and crafts,” a collaboration of that nature is only fitting. Visitors who attend will be eligible to sign up for one of two door prizes, offering $100 each toward the work of the artist of their choice. Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild 20th Annual Show

THE THIRD ACT

By Ellen Waterston

Playing the Fool In tarot card games starting in the 15th century (before they were pre-empted for fortune telling) the fool was the most valuable card. When tarot decks were subsequently used for divination, the fool came to represent new beginnings, faith in the future and beginner’s luck. Given that every day is a new beginning, it figures we all have the same shot at luck each morning, right? In this sense, playing the fool would mean trying new things, staying curious despite the years already invested in the pit- and prat- falls of life, no matter the age. Enter the wise, old fool. Margaret Talbot, the author of The New Yorker article, suggests that parents (or grandparents, for that matter) who wait patiently in a studio or front hall for their child or grandchild to finish ballet or kick boxing lessons are sending the message that learning new things is reserved for the young. But it doesn’t have to be so. Talbot references current studies of what has been dubbed “crystallized intelligence” that show that cognitive skills don’t all peak at once, some even improving as we age. “Societal pressure on young adults to specialize and succeed … is as wrongheaded and oppressive on the one end of life as patronizing attitudes toward the old are on the other,” writes Talbot. She encourages us to remember learning to do something new (skill, not fact) “when you didn’t really care what your performance of it said about your place in the world, when you didn’t know what you didn’t know.” In short, be foolish. I rail against this culture’s tendency to bundle all that us elders have been, are, hope to be, into one convenient, expedient, dismissive category: old. Like some sort of wireless societal bundling offer for ancients. But if you have managed to follow my (non) logic, the most powerful card in the deck, it turns out, is the elder fool because the moniker “old” upstages and trumps all other limiting and insulting labels. So let’s play the card we’ve been dealt. Here’s to the sage fool! The hardy and hearty old fool! The bold but wise buffoon! By playing the elder card, I wager we can eclipse the destructive name-calling plaguing society today and shift the conversation to a solution-oriented one. Just imagine that! The deck is stacked in favor of us wise old fools.

25 VOLUME 25 ISSUE 34 / AUGUST 26, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n article in the Jan. 18, 2021, issue of The New Yorker addresses one woman’s serious pursuit of painting starting in her 60s. Stepping down from an accomplished career as a professor of history at Princeton, and as the author of seven books and the recipient of countless honors, Nell Painter decided to pursue a BFA from Rutgers, followed by an MFA from The Rhode Island School of Design, pursuing both with the same rigor she had approached all else in her life. In her memoir, “Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over,” she describes the shock of discovering that suddenly her race (she was Black) took a back seat to the fact that she was old as the provocation of prejudice. Because of her age she wasn’t taken seriously by her instructors and was of no interest to younger fellow students. “It wasn’t that I stopped being my individual self or stopped being Black or stopped being female, but that old, now linked to my sex, obscured everything else beyond old lady.” Let’s look at this differently. With all the hostile name-calling and taunts associated with current important debates and protests about racial equality, immigration, politics and the environment, guess what “name” neutralizes, zaps them all, and, therefore, might just pave the way for productive conversation? Old. Back to Painter. How many of us shy away from trying something new after age 60, and why is that? We have drunk the cultural Kool-Aid, that’s why. Ageism messaging at work. Athletes are considered over the hill by age 30. Middle-aged executives don’t dare make a longed-for career change out of fear of age discrimination. Painter experienced firsthand the cultural bias that starting something new later in life is seen as foolish. But playing the fool is a good thing. True, the Latin origin of the word, follis, cites bellows and windbag—a bit off-putting. But wind is also associated with inspire, to breathe out, to convey a truth or idea. Expanding on that interpretation, the notion of the wise fool first emerged in the 1300s followed by William Shakespeare taking up the fool’s cause in the 1500s, elevating the role of the court jester from entertainer to truthteller and scripting many wise fools into his plays. In his “Guide to Shakespeare,” Isaac Asimov sums it up. “The great secret of the successful fool is that he is no fool at all.”

Palmer’s Café: Revamped, LITTLE BITES Remodeled and Now Open By Nicole Vulcan

Courtesy Galveston Street Market

A longtime Bend favorite is back for breakfast

Submitted

500-foot outdoor deck and Bloody Marys are a couple of the upgrades at the newly renovated Palmer’s Cafe. This longtime Bend favorite is back in action after a recent remodel. The cafe and adjacent Palmer’s Motel is owned by Bend native David Langmas, who now runs the cafe with his daughter Chloe. If you’ve been in Central Oregon for a while, you’re probably familiar with Palmer’s, famous for its huge breakfasts and often referred to as Bend’s best kept secret. The cafe, in business for over 50 years, has touted itself as the best breakfast in Bend throughout the decades. The main dining area was built by Palmer Discus in 1922 and originally was his home. In the 1950s, Palmer’s became a social gathering place with dances and potlucks. During the recent remodeling, Langmas, who has owned the cafe and motel for about 20 years, did his best to keep the spirit of the 99-year-old building alive. Fresh paint, new flooring and beautiful framed photographs of the Central Oregon outdoors welcome hungry diners. The vibe is warm and friendly and the food is better than ever. “I wanted to make it great for locals in my city, with great food and prices where they believe they are getting a great deal,” Langmas expressed as he was pouring a coffee refill on a recent Saturday morning. Yes, the owner himself is busy bussing tables and pouring coffee and chatting with diners, which only adds to the downhome atmosphere. While he’s owned the building for the past two decades, he never actually ran the restaurant himself before now.

The cafe's recently renovated interior.

Currently, breakfast is served Tuesday through Sunday 6:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Daily specials include lunch-type offerings like the gigantic Reuben sandwich. The breakfast menu is huge, covering two full pages and includes every kind of fluffy omelet you can imagine. Along with the Meat Lover’s, Denver and Veggie, there’s the Todd Lake with grilled chicken breast, bacon, mushrooms and avocado and the Sparks Lake with corned beef hash, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, jack and cheddar cheeses. There are also several choices of scrambles such as The Pilot Butte (Kitchen Sink) and those, along with the omelets, are all served with a choice of toast and creamy, perfectly browned homestyle potatoes. Page two of the massive breakfast menu includes biscuits and gravy, a Palmer’s Gravy Eggs Benedict, country fried steak, a couple of different Submitted

steak and egg choices, plus French toast, Belgian waffles and Swedish pancakes. If you’re wondering what’s so special about a Swedish pancake, well a lot, at Palmer’s, anyway! They’re thinner than regular American pancakes, more crepe-like, but still a pancake and at Palmer’s they’re plate-sized and can be served with fresh fruit, syrup and whipped cream. Sometimes when you see fresh fruit on a menu, it’s easy to be skeptical and have low expectations for what that means. The fresh fruit at Palmer’s right now includes huge Oregon marionberries, strawberries and blueberries, all ripe and sweet. While the perfect cup of diner coffee compliments a Palmer’s breakfast quite nicely, other drink specials include Bloody Marys, Bloody Marias, Hot Toddys, Irish Coffees, Mimosas, cider and beer. Those cocktails are reminiscent of a nice brunch, which if you’re having a midday breakfast on the Palmer’s spanking new deck boasting umbrellas and huge pots of lovely flowers, you’re having a very nice brunch. The updated interior feels fresh and clean yet isn’t so modern that the place has lost all of its original diner feel. They’ve kept the infamous cafe sign and the portions have remained large (seriously, consider sharing if you prefer smaller portions) while the atmosphere is friendlier than ever with the owner and his daughter Chloe serving guests and making everyone feel right at home. Oh, and the food could definitely be considered as one of the best breakfasts in Bend. Palmer’s Cafe

NIGHTLY CLOSING BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CARRIE DITULLIO REAL ESTATE TEAM

Leafy Summer CHOW Creamy, It’s the answer to all your salad dreams. You’re welcome. By Ari Levaux Ari Levaux

t’s a noun. It’s a verb. It’s a way of life.“Creamy,” said my friend Luci Brieger, when I asked how her summer was going. Creamy has many meanings at her farm—all of them good, all of them rooted in Brieger’s creamy salad dressing, aka “Creamy,” which tastes like what might happen if Caesar dressing had a love child with a bottle of ranch. “I only have eyes have eyes for romaine,” she says. “I’m a uni-lettuce type of gal.” Creamy vinaigrette salad dressing long predates Brieger or her farm. While some recipes for creamy vinaigrette call for sour cream or yogurt, Luci’s Creamy does not contain actual cream, which would curdle on contact with the lemon juice. While Creamy is dairy-free, Luci regularly customizes it with dairy, including yogurt, buttermilk and grated cheese, depending on what else gets added to the romaine. Mayonnaise is not just the main ingredient in Creamy, but also its patron saint. “It’s the mortar of life,” Brieger’s husband Steve Elliott once told me, with a gentle, paternal tone. Through the artifice of emulsion, mayonnaise achieves its smooth, creamy flavor despite not containing any actual dairy materials. That creamy magic is passed along to the Creamy (or anything else) to which it is added. That magic, in turn, is passed along to whatever is touched by Creamy. To say something is creamy is to say, in so many words, that it’s summertime, and the living is easy. The leaves are fresh, the creamy is creamy, and things are as they should be. The centrality of creamy to quality of farm life makes it more than an

But ultimately, it’s up to you to learn the ways of Creamy by feeling the flavor and intuiting where it needs to be. “Don’t get bogged down in the details,” Elliott offers. “And pay attention.” Creamy Salad

Dill Salad with the famous Creamy.

adjective named after a salad dressing, but a way to eat vegetables, and a way of life. That’s why Elliott laughed deeply, straight from the bottom of his belly to my phone, when I called to ask Brieger how to make Creamy. “She doesn’t even know how to make it,” Elliott said when he’d partially recovered. “She has that innate sense, and I’m not sure how to teach that. She just acts, stream of consciousness, like the Jack Kerouac of Creamy.” Brieger is wiry, with a dark ponytail, wide peripheral vision and a persona that lacks nonsense. She contends daily with a parade of kids, farm help, visitors and other “random people” who, if the coast is clear,

will dart across the kitchen, open the fridge and scan for Creamy; once located, they will search for substrate. “When they see leftover Creamy in the fridge, they put it on bread or other stuff,” she says. “Or they dip stuff in it. I frown on that.” For all its absolute perfection, Creamy is a fluid, shape-shifting sauce, as much a process and sensibility as a formula. Like a jazz musician adjusting his groove to the other players, virtuoso salad dressing makers like Brieger will adjust their art to fit the context. The recipe below is for the core essence of Creamy. After the recipe I list some of Brieger’s favorite adjustments.

The basic creamy is meant to dress what passes for the House Salad at Brieger’s farm, Lifeline Produce. Made of romaine, cucumber, sweet onions and fresh dill. 4 servings Creamy Dressing: 2-4 cloves fresh garlic (about 15 grams if we’re being exact. Or to taste.) 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup lemon or lime juice or white balsamic 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest 1 squeezed section of lemon, peel, pulp and all 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ½ cup mayo (or Vegenaise, which Brieger and I both prefer) About the same amount of olive oil Combine ingredients in a blender, food processor or in a bowl under a submersion blender. Whizz the dressing until, as Brieger puts it, “the texture pleases me.” In plain speak, that would be an emulsion, smooth, thick and, well, creamy.

BLACK WIDOW: The first theatrical Marvel movie since Spider-Man: Far From Home sees ScarJo reprising her role as Natasha Romanov, the badass assassin trying to lead a less murdery life. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX CANDYMAN: Usually I’m not too excited for horror remakes or reboots (especially for movies that came out in the ‘90s), but this looks surprisingly haunting and with Jordan Peele on board as producer, I’m hoping this will be a thoughtful and disturbing reimagining of the iconic character. There haven’t been many great horror movies this year, so we’ll see what happens. Old Mill DON’T BREATHE 2: The first one was surprisingly well made but icky, so I’m curious how they’re going to spin a sequel out of such a horribly insane character who the trailers are making look like the hero. I guess the world needs more blind and insane kidnappers? Old Mill FREE GUY: Oh Ryan Reynolds, you had me at video game character who gains sentience and becomes a hero. I’m glad this was better than it looked…and should have been. Old Mill, Odem Theater Pub, Sisters Movie House THE GREEN KNIGHT: A trippy retelling of an Arthurian legend. Packed with some of the craziest imagery you've ever seen outside of a mushroom trip. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Tin Pan Theater JUNGLE CRUISE: I’m ready for a new movie about a ride at Disneyland to be as good as the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was, but this isn’t that. It’s fun and weird, but there’s just something missing. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Odem Theater Pub, McMenamins. THE NIGHT HOUSE: A solid creative team and brilliant lead actress Rebecca Hall make me think this old-school haunted-house chiller might be a keeper. There hasn’t been a truly great horror movie this year yet, so I guess a boy can dream. Old Mill, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub NINE DAYS: Easily the most beautiful movie I’ve seen this year. A life-affirming look at how we grow and are shaped as humans. A profoundly lovely work of art. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House OLD: I get that M. Night Shyamalan made a few pretty terrible movies in a row, but I’ve never hated him enough not to be stoked whenever he has a new horror film coming out. This one is about 98% a great movie that falls apart a little by the end but has a few genuinely disturbing

moments throughout. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE: Dogs that have jobs. Why must those innocent creatures suffer the same fate as those of us trapped by the humdrummery of a 9 to 5? It’s not fair. Set them free, evil movie gods, SET THEM FREEEEEEEE! Sisters Movie House and streaming. PIG: Wait. Are you telling me this is a Portland-filmed movie starring Nicolas Cage as a hermit who is hunting the men who kidnapped his truffle pig? That’s what this movie is? And it’s not a comedy? This is obviously going to be worth seeing because even the worst Nicolas Cage performance is still better than most actors’ best performances. Tin Pan Theater, Sisters Movie House THE PROTEGE: This action flick looks so generic and predictable that, I swear to you, Sam Jackson doesn’t even survive the trailer. With the awesome Maggie Q and the great Martin (“Casino Royale” and “Goldeneye”) Campbell directing, there’s a chance this could be cool. Old Mill. REMINISCENCE: Huge Ackman plays a private detective…of the mind! This looks like a mix of “Inception” and “Chinatown” which means I’m there for it. This is either going to be awesome or a complete waste of everyone’s talent because there’s no room for middle ground when you’re dabbling in sci-fi noir. Old Mill. RESPECT: Jennifer Hudson playing Aretha Franklin is about the best casting I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for this one. Old Mill, Sisters Movie House STILLWATER: Starring a chunky redneck Matt Damon. That is all. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Odem Theater Pub THE SUICIDE SQUAD: The last one of these introduced us to Jared Leto’s Machine Gun Kelly meets a Juggalo version of the Joker, but I have it on good authority that this will not only be way better, but also legitimately one of the most finely crafted comic book movies ever made. UPDATE: It’s not, but it’s still more fun than a barrel full of Letos. Regal Old Mill ScreenX and IMAX

Night Music SCREEN Little “Annette” is a bold and baffling opera

by Jared Rasic 31

very once and a great while, a movie comes along that is so deeply weird, so profoundly and bafflingly strange, that your friendly neighborhood film critic is left staring at the closing credits at a total loss with how to proceed. Normally, if I know I’m going to write about a movie, something connected either to the making of the film or the story or performances gives me a launching off point for the review, but after watching Leos Carax’s new film, “Annette,” I feel overwhelmingly underqualified to talk about it. Adam Driver plays Henry McHenry, a toxically masculine stand-up comedian who has a very public engagement and marriage to a world famous soprano, Ann Desfranoux (played by Marion Cotillard). Not much later, they give birth to their daughter, Annette, played by a wooden marionette. I won’t give much more away about the plot, but there’s murder, sex and a ton of singing,because, oh yes, “Annette” is a musical where the characters sing most of their thoughts, making it the world’s first dramady/romance/thriller/rock opera. The story and all of the songs were written by Ron and Russell Mael of the band Sparks, who were also the subject of a documentary from Edgar Wright earlier this year called “The Sparks Brothers,” proving that a band that has toiled in almost relative obscurity in the U.S. for 50 years can eventually explode if given the right chances. I’ve watched “Annette” twice now

Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard absolutely sing in “Annette.”

and one thing I can say for sure is that the music grew on me like a bruise over both viewings. I wasn’t a huge fan of the songs the first time, but after the second viewing a few of them might have become permanently lodged in my head. Adam Driver isn’t much of a singer, but he infuses the songs with such powerful emotion that it’s hard not to feel them in your bones once the film is over. Leos Carax’s 2012 film, "Holy Motors,” is one of my favorite movies ever made, so I was extremely hyped for “Annette” and honestly wasn’t let down in the slightest. Even if I was

struggling to grasp a theme or some subtext, “Annette” never ceases to be a richly beautiful and tragic opera with every single frame lovingly handcrafted by Carax and his troupe. The film’s idiosyncrasies combine to make “Annette” feel stunningly timeless in its love story, while searingly of the moment in its dissection of celebrity culture and toxic masculinity. If we complain that original movies never get made anymore, then we’re only letting ourselves down by missing things like “Annette” when they get released. The film is so bonkers that

even as I sat with it later, I felt the movie taking on a life of its own inside my brain and replaying some of my favorite images and songs. I genuinely can’t wait to watch it again and try to grasp a few more pieces of its enchanting whole and try and put it together just a little more. Annette

Recent Climate Report is a Call to Action (Again!)

GO HERE By Trevor Bradford

How local restoration efforts are climate actions you can get behind

Photo: Rick Dingus.

Bend Yoga Festival & Triathlon Rescheduled

The Whychus Creek restoration at Rimrock Ranch is helping our region adapt to climate change.

wo weeks ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released the first part of its most recent climate change assessment. The physical science basis of Sixth Assessment Report painted a grim picture of all that we are doing to our planet—including that the fact that planet is warming faster than we thought and that our actions are driving extreme weather (e.g., two heatwaves this summer!). It was also an urgent call to action—because things are going to get a lot worse. We all need to take individual action, and we need to support groups working to fight climate change at the local level. One local ray of hope in the climate crisis is that some major stream restoration projects are building resilience into our natural systems so we—human and wild—can all survive the climate crisis. The Deschutes Land Trust and Upper Deschutes Watershed Council have been partnering on stream restoration projects for nearly 15 years. The Watershed Council provides the restoration expertise and the Land Trust protected lands ripe for restoration projects to benefit fish, wildlife and local communities. Many of these projects have been centered around Whychus Creek, one of our regional jewels that flows through Sisters and provides clean, cold water that flows into the Deschutes River. This summer the Land Trust and Watershed Council and many other dedicated conservation partners embarked on restoring another portion of Whychus Creek, this time at the Land Trust’s Rimrock Ranch. It follows on the heels of two other Whychus Creek restoration projects at the Land Trust’s Camp Polk Meadow and Whychus Canyon Preserves that together restored 2.5 miles of the creek. These projects involve massive amounts of planning, fundraising and earth moving to help give the creek a leg up so it

can help provide us all clean water and be healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. But how do stream restoration projects help climate change? They help natural systems adapt and have more defenses to a changing climate. One of the goals of the Whychus Creek restoration project is to restore natural functions of the creek. That means helping the creek get back to a place where it can reconnect with its floodplain, overflow its banks and store water like it historically would have. This in turn helps the creek (and our region!) weather drought by holding water in the surrounding floodplain when flows are high and then naturally releasing it when flows are low. It also helps mitigate flood events by allowing flood waters to spread out across the floodplain and slow their destructive force. As the climate continues to warm, drought and flooding will happen more often, and the hope is that restored stream systems will be able to respond to these changes more effectively. Stream restoration can also create or improve climate refugia. Climate

refugia are places that will remain buffered from the impacts of climate change and where natural communities will be more able to persist over time. Restoration projects help create refugia by improving and diversifying habitats in and around the stream. This gives plants, fish, and wildlife more places to move, adapt and recover as the climate warms. It also helps improve water quality and quantity, keeping our water clean and cold. Finally, conserving and protecting refugia helps reduce future greenhouse gas emissions by keeping trees and plants on the landscape absorbing CO2, and keeping soil from eroding so it can sequester carbon. Conservation and restoration of our lands and waters is climate action. You can take action right here, right now to keep our planet livable as we face the climate crisis, by supporting these conservation groups and projects, now and into the future. Learn more:

All the exercise and stretching in the universe couldn’t change the circumstances that are creating the new “normal” way of living people are facing through this pandemic. Masks, social distancing and the Delta variant affect everyone, including Angela Liesching and her plans on having a Bend Yoga Festival and Mindful Triathlon this year. Last fall, Liesching was searching for a yoga festival to attend, but the closest one was all the way in Colorado. So, she decided to create her own in Bend. The event was also inspired by PJ Fritchman and her Yogis Unite Bend group. Liesching’s event was planned for this year, but with the new variants and the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, she decided to postpone the event until June 2022. The festival and triathlon will host several different classes and activities that revolve around yoga and mindfulness. For example, the yoga classes will be team taught in spirit of the Yogis Unite Bend event, while the triathlon will focus on a 5k run, yoga exercises and meditation sessions. Liesching is looking forward to getting the ball rolling for the festival and triathlon. “(I’m) so glad this event is resonating with people,” Liesching said. The Deschutes Land Trust organization will be a beneficiary of the triathlon and will receive a portion of the proceeds. Bend Yoga Festival & Triathlon

Go Globetrotting at Spider City Brewing

The women behind the brewery bring a passion for travel to local beers By Brian Yaeger

Brian Yaeger

There's a slew of interesting brews pouring at Spider City.

Belgian grisette, a Polish wheat beer, a Germanic gose and a Baltic porter are all available to slake your thirst without so much as a passport. Of course, if your thirst preferences lie closer to home, there’s also no shortage of tasty American IPAs at Spider City Brewing. The name of the brewery may have been inspired by a placard found at the shared home of co-owners Melanie and Michele Betti (identical twins) and friend Tammy Treat, but the beers are inspired by their world travels. Spider City launched in Bend in 2018 and promptly earned the People’s Choice award at Bend Brewfest the following year (back in the days when said event could safely be held). It now has two spots to check into on the revamped Bend Ale Trail. The downtown tasting room is located inside The Wine Shop (which Melanie Betti, who’s both a Certified Sommelier and Cicerone-Certified Beer Server, founded in 2006). But it’s at the brewery’s eastside taproom off Reed Market, in a territory the Ale Trail dubbed The Badlands, where nearly two dozen of Spider City’s beers are available for sampling. There’s never a shortage of IPAs— both hazy and clear—on tap (including a version of Grazing Goat West Coast IPA featuring pineapple and serrano chilies dubbed Spicy Goat). But Betti (pronounced like Betty but with a hard T because she’s Italian) designs her beers to embellish food, because she’s Italian. She also doesn’t overcomplicate beer recipes, because she’s Italian. She subscribes to the philosophy that you don’t need more than five ingredients— and that applies to her malt bills and hop bills. In fact, Spider City beers allow a single hop varietal to do all the talking in several beers, including Stache SMaSH Pilsner (SMaSH stands for Single Malt and Single Hop) that uses a German hop as most do, but not an Old World noble varietal like Saaz. Instead, Betti employs a 21st century cultivar called Hallertau Blanc that imbues notes of

white wine and white berries. It makes for an elegant lager. Another SMaSH pilsner uses Enigma hops, one of the newer varietals from Australia, and in contrast to Hallertau Blanc, Enigma boasts red wine and red berry traits. And while many great IPAs have been built on Mosaic hops that throw tropical and stone fruit flavors, she uses it in the Grisette, a light, tart farmhouse ale that benefits from Mosaic’s guava characteristics. A personal favorite of mine is the Cherrywood Smoked Ale. Smoke beers in the vein of German Rauchbiers typically use beechwood-smoked malts, or sometimes alderwood, and the results typically clobber you with bacon and/or ashtray notes. In a good way! The cherrywood smoked malts interestingly deliver more of a hickory smell and flavor, making it an ideal complement to barbecued or grilled meats. As a shout out to another Source beer writer, Heidi Howard, her favorite beer, called out in her profile on Spider City over two and a half years ago, is Soleil Rubis, which is still a taproom staple. It’s a gose, which is to say a light, refreshing German-style wheat beer soured with lactobacillus, that gets its hue and kick from pureed berries (black, blue, rasp). While Betti brews on a 15-barrel system, she doesn’t ignore her homebrewing roots and in fact, her original system from the co-owners’ garage remains perched adjacent to the bar, so there are always new experiments. Just like Spicy Goat originated from the pilot system that makes about one keg at a time, there are test batches of whiskey barrel-aged stouts and porters napping in the tasting room. There’s also a hard cherry seltzer in one of the casks—because if you’re gonna do a seltzer, you gotta do it interestingly. I bet it’ll go great with tiramisu or a bowl of stracciatella.

TRAPPING • GASSING • RESULTS

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I sing like the nightingale whose melody is crowded in the too narrow passage of her throat,” wrote author Virginia Woolf. That was an insulting curse for her to fling at herself. I disapprove of such behavior—especially for you in the coming weeks. If you hope to be in alignment with cosmic rhythms, don’t you dare say nasty things about yourself, even in the privacy of your own thoughts. In fact, please focus on the exact opposite: flinging praise and appreciation and compliments at yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The blogger at wwwwlw.tumblr.com says the following are the top tender actions. 1. Fastening clothes or jewelry for your companion. 2. Letting them rest their head on your shoulder. 3. Idly playing with their hands. 4. Brushing a leaf out of their hair. 5. Locking pinkies. 6. Rubbing their back when you embrace. 7. Both of you wearing an item that belongs to the other. Dear Libra, I hope you will employ these tender actions with greater frequency than usual in the coming weeks, Libra. Why? In my astrological opinion, it’s a ripe time to boost your Affection Quotient with the allies you care for the most. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Naturalist Henry David Thoreau wrote in his journal, “I feel slightly complimented when nature condescends to make use of me without my knowledge—as when I help scatter her seeds in my walk—or carry burs and cockles on my clothes from field to field. I feel as though I had done something for the commonweal.” I mention this, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to carry out good deeds and helpful transformations in nature’s behalf. Your ability to collaborate benevolently with plants and animals and elemental forces will be at a peak. So will your knack for creating interesting connections between yourself and all wild things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have never heard of Sagittarian artist Baya Mahieddine (1931–1998). At age 16, she experienced a splash of acclaim with a show in Paris. Famous artists Pablo Picasso, Henry Matisse, and George Braques came. They drew inspiration from Mahieddine’s innovative use of color, elements from her Algerian heritage, and her dream-like images. Picasso even invited her to work with him, exulting in the fresh perspectives she ignited. But her art never received the full credit it warranted. In accordance with astrological omens, this horoscope is a small way of providing her with the recognition and appreciation she deserves. It also authorizes you to go out and get the recognition and appreciation you deserve but have not yet fully received. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Who knows what is unfolding on the other side of each hour?” asked Capricorn poet Juan Ramón Jiménez (translated by Capricorn poet Robert Bly). “How many times the sunrise was there, behind a mountain. How many times the brilliant cloud piling up far off was already a golden body full of thunder!” Your assignment, Capricorn, is to imagine what is unfolding just beyond your perception and understanding. But here’s the twist: You must steer your mind away from inclinations to indulge in fear. You must imagine that the events in the works are beautiful, interesting, or redemptive. If you’re not willing to do that, skip the exercise altogether. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup,” wrote author Wendell Berry. I mostly agree with that sentiment, although I will also put in a good word for certain kinds of arguments. There are moments when it’s crucial for your psychological and spiritual health that you initiate a conversation about delicate issues that might lead to a dispute. However, I don’t think this is one of those times, Aquarius. In my astrological opinion, picking dew-wet red berries is far more sensible than any argument. For further inspiration, read this

testimony from actor Natasha Lyonne: “I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For painter Vincent van Gogh, love wasn’t primarily a sentimental feeling. Nor was it an unfocused generalized wish for health and happiness in those he cared for. Rather, he wrote, “You must love with a high, serious, intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence.” His love was alert, acute, active, and energized. It was animated with a determination to be resourceful and ingenious in nurturing the beloved. For van Gogh, love was always in action, forever moving toward ever-fresh engagement. In service to intimacy, he said, “you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.” I hope you’ll make these meditations a top priority during the next seven weeks. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries mythologist Joseph Campbell advised us to love our fate. He said we should tell ourselves, “Whatever my fate is, this is what I need.” Even if an event seems inconvenient or disruptive, we treat it as an opportunity, as an interesting challenge. “If you bring love to that moment, not discouragement,” Campbell said, “you will find the strength.” Campbell concludes that any detour or disarray you can learn from “is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!” Few signs of the zodiac are inclined to enthusiastically adopt such an approach, but you Aries folks are most likely to do so. Now is an especially favorable time to use it. TAURUS (April 20May 20): The brilliant Taurus dancer and choreographer Martha Graham spoke of “a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,” adding that “there is only one of you in all time.” She added, “It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” But even if you do this very well, Graham said, you will nevertheless always feel “a divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest” that will fuel you. This is the perfect message for you Tauruses to embrace in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There’s growing scientific evidence that we make ourselves stupid by complaining too much—or even by listening to other people complain a lot. Excessive negative thoughts drain energy from our hippocampus, a part of our brain that’s essential to problem-solving. This doesn’t mean, of course, that we should avoid dealing with difficult issues. But it does suggest we should be discerning about how many disturbing and depressing ideas we entertain. According to my reading of the omens, all this will be especially useful advice for you in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your brain contains one hundred billion nerve cells. Each cell has the potential to be linked with tens of thousands of others. And they are always busy. Typically, your grey matter makes a million new connections every second. But I suspect your number of connections will increase even beyond that in the coming weeks. Your most complex organ will be working with greater intensity than usual. Will that be a bad thing or a good thing? It depends on whether you formulate an intention to channel your intelligence into wise analysis about important matters—and not waste it in careless fussing about trivial details.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You should have a sticky soul,” counsels author Elizabeth Berg. “The act of continually taking things in should be as much a part of you as your hair color.” I especially endorse that attitude for you during the next four weeks, Leo. Your task is to make yourself extra magnetic for all the perceptions, experiences, ideas, connections, and resources you need most. By September 23, I suspect you will have gained an infusion of extra ballast and gravitas.

37 VOLUME 25 ISSUE 34 / AUGUST 26, 2021 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

During quarantine, my boyfriend started spending two or three hours a night playing video games. Not only do I think this is unhealthy (since video games apparently lead to violence and psychological problems), but I think gaming has become a coping mechanism/escape tool for him. How can I get him to stop? —Annoyed Claiming gaming causes violence is like claiming white wine causes stabbings. (Give somebody a sip of Chardonnay and before you know it, they’ll be dealing meth and then arrested, convicted, and shanking somebody in prison.) There’s been a lot of “moral panic” over video gaming. A moral panic is a mass overreaction to some behavior, art form, or group of people, driven by the fear that it poses a threat to society’s values and the social order. Examples include rock lyrics said to be corrupting teenagers and the belief in the 1980s that satanic cults were running nursery schools. About the latter, Margaret Talbot explained in The New York Times Magazine that day care worker/“Devil-worshippers” were supposedly “raping and sodomizing children, practicing ritual sacrifice, shedding their clothes, drinking blood and eating feces, all unnoticed by parents, neighbors and the authorities.” It’s easy to succumb to a moral panic. Though we like to see ourselves as careful, rational thinkers, when we’re afraid, we engage in reasoning that’s better described as “emotioning.” This makes us prone to believe “if it bleeds, it leads” news stories that report “research says” video games are addictive, lead to social isolation, and cause those who play them to become violent or more violent. These media reports aren’t lies per se, but the product of reporters understandably unable to parse scientific methodology—usually because they were reporting on celebrities or City Hall until, like, Tuesday, when they got assigned to the science beat. They have no chops to critically analyze studies that, for example, claim video gaming turns normal teens into violent teens: like, if you let a kid play shoot-em-up games, he’s supposedly more likely to take to a campus bell tower with an AR-15. Reporters inexperienced in covering science typically chronicle the findings of just one (possibly flawed) study -- without reviewing the body of research on gaming (dozens or even hundreds of studies). If they did this, they would see “the emerging picture from the research literature,” summed up by psychologist

Pete Etchells, who studies the psychological and behavioral effects of playing video games: “Video games don’t appear to have a meaningful impact on aggressive behaviour, and certainly aren’t the root cause of mass acts of societal violence.” So, what about studies that claim otherwise? Experimental psychologists Andrew Przybylski and Amy Orben explain that this research is largely “riddled with methodological errors”— errors so major they change the conclusion of a study. (And whaddaya know, the error-driven conclusion is typically the newsmeaty “Lock up your kid’s Nintendo, lady, or you’re gonna be putting your house up for bail.”) That said, you aren’t wrong that video games can be a “coping mechanism”: thinking and/ or behavior we deploy to manage stressful situations and painful emotions. Coping mechanisms themselves—whether going for a run, taking a bath, or engaging in a couple hours of Mortal Kombat—are not bad. On the other hand, if your boyfriend is at risk of losing his job because he can’t stop gaming or burglarizes the neighbors to buy a bunch of new games, well, that reflects what Przybylski and Orben call “problematic gaming.” However, they explain that this afflicts only a “small subset” of gamers, and it’s likely driven by underlying problems such as anxiety and depression. In other words, problematic gaming is a symptom, not the problem itself. By the way, contrary to the tired ‘80s/‘90s stereotype of video games played by an isolated loser in the basement, online gaming connects gamers around the globe. Gamers make friends and are part of a community. (Best of all, in the virtual world, nobody’s breathing on anybody, so gamers’ friendships are immune to lockdowns.) And though there’s a widespread assumption that gaming causes social awkwardness, it often opens up a social world for the sort of person who’d rather RVSP to be put to death than go make small talk face to face at a party. Now, maybe you are so anti-video game that your relationship just won’t fly anymore. But consider whether it’s actually your boyfriend’s gaming that’s bothering you—or whether you’re longing for more attention than he’s been giving you. If it’s the latter, chances are the answer is not just time spent but quality time: being really present and affectionate when you’re together. Tell him what you need, and see whether he’s up for providing it. It’s understandably upsetting to have serious competition for your boyfriend’s attention—whether it’s from another woman or the 26 druids he has to gun down before dinner.

Can I Change My Mind About Selling After Accepting an Offer?

Otis Craig Broker, CRS

Why that’s not really an option

the contract, it is very difficult for a seller to have grounds to terminate the agreement under real estate law. So, what happens in the event a seller cancels a contract, even though they have no legal grounds to do so? The buyer can force the seller to complete the sale under “specific performance,” which is legalese for completing the transaction under the terms of the legally binding contract. The buyer can sue the seller and claim punitive and liquidated damages for compensation of the loss of the home, damages for the money they have already spent on the property (i.e. home inspection, well inspections, appraisal fees) and the buyer’s legal fees. The listing broker can also sue the seller. Not only did the seller sign a contract with the buyer, but also signed a contract with the listing broker. Failure to complete the contract does give a listing broker grounds to go for the promised commission, even though the sale did not close. This is because the listing broker performed their contracted agreement in bringing a viable buyer willing and contracted to purchase the property under the listing contract. The long and short of it is that a seller should have a very clear understanding of the real estate contract terms and repercussions of terminating a real estate purchase agreement/contract. Be sure to have a clear path and plan prior to offering the property on the open market for sale as to timing, replacement properties and a clear understanding of why they are selling their property. It can save a lot of headache, heartache and costly legal repercussions.

ll the work in preparing the property to list for sale is done, the listing is live and the offers start rolling in. Things are looking great and the seller accepts a fantastic offer for the price and terms they were looking for. A few days go by and rather than the usual celebratory feelings most sellers have once getting their home under contract, the twinges of regret set in and now the attempt to reverse course sets in. Seems easy enough to cancel the contract and pull the home off the market, right? The short answer to that question is: No. While it is rare for a seller to try to back out, the most common reasons for a seller trying to back out of a contract include: a higher offer comes in; a change in circumstances, such as a relocation for employment falling through; a seller having nowhere to go because they failed to find a replacement property or rental or finally, the seller getting cold feet. The memories of the home start flooding in. Every home they look at just isn’t the same as the one they are selling and the fear of regret fuels a seller’s remorse and cold feet. Real estate contracts are legally binding, and it is anything but easy for a seller to back out once accepted. While most real estate contracts contain termination clauses, those are generally built-in to protect the buyers, not the seller. Once the contract is in place it is essentially the buyer in the driver’s seat as to whether they cancel a transaction. Real estate law heavily favors the buyer and in the event a seller tries to back out of a contract, the seller can face some serious and expensive blowback. Unless the seller has written in a home-sale contingency or the buyer fails to uphold their duties under
